Gentle Leader is an NYK lines ship. NYK lines offers NO good web or phone based data on ship schedules or cargo.

According to my client advisor, the ship is due in Port Hueneme on 27 Feb. Tracking the vessel on www.marinetraffic.com when it is near the coast and on sailwx.info when it is at sea (longer intervals between updates). This morning the ship was just off the Portugese coast. Due Panama canal 10 days from now (2/15).

Sounds like a cool build.

thanks for the info, I think i ll put all this behind and enjoy my rest of the "no car period" lol

I placed my order 14 December. So I have been waiting close enough to 2 months. A glass half full way of looking at it is that we are about a month from getting the car so we are over half way in our wait.

After about 24 hours at anchor, the Gentle Leader passed through the Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side of the Panama canal just after sunrise this morning. She is now "Southbound" as it is termed in the Canal. It was fascinating to watch the whole process live on webcams. Here are some captures from the panama canal webcams and from marinetraffic.com

Her next port of call is San Diego on 25 February. Maybe Long Beach on the 26th, if past BMW West Coast schedules hold. Then Port Hueneme on 27 Feb where our BMW's will be unloaded at the West Coast Vehicle Processing Center. From there it's 5-7 days till delivery.

Day comes so close! I think about the moment I pick up the car every night before I go to the bed. It's a torture!
